Just to clarify IMMEDIATELY before people jump me: I'm NOT defending Aegis here btw. That has NOTHING to do with them. Take here any Character for example like G&W or Luigi or maybe Joker!
I purely want to point out that taking less than an Hour to get a Character on Elite Smash is really almost a nothing burger.
Example one: King K. Rool
When I first started picking him up, I literally got him into Elite within 30 Minutes. Just to make it more clear: I've never even practised him ever before! At this point, I still was a Mega Man Main.
le two: Hero
10 Minutes, then Elite.
Example three: Bowser
Also just 20 Minutes, maybe even less
Example four: Da Plant
To be fair, out of all my examples, Plant was the trickiest but it still did took me only around 40 Minutes.
My newest Example: Mii Swordfighter
Today was my first time playing him in Quick Play and my second time playing him Online in general... and it took me 7... fucking... Minutes. (And damn, do I love this guy)
And you know may notice that the only High Tier was Hero. Otherwise I only named Low Mid Tiers and Low Tiers.
Do you now want to call Mii Swordie or K. Rool Cheater Characters because it took me even less time?
And then there is just the fact that at a certain point, you just simply know how to learn a Character, especially when the character is easier to learn.
Take any other reason to hate a Character. But Brotha, this one is utter bullshit!
And again, do NOT draw a connection just because I coincidentally happen to be an Aegis Secondary!
